The expansion of a plant entails working near to the existing, functional building. The ongoing operations pose a challenge to all the construction activities that need to be carried out for the expansion. Careful planning, even in the structural design of the project, is vital. The key to the success of the plant expansion structural design depends on certain factors that the structural engineers are always mindful of. Read on to find out.
Before planning a plant expansion structural design, the structural engineer of the project conducts a site survey to know the site, gets a soil report to understand the suitability of the soil and calculates the load and stresses that the new construction can withstand to ensure durability and serviceability of the expanded structure.
